Master Slide for Quizzing

Apr 05, 2013

Hello Storyline forum,

As far as I can tell, there is no method for me to define a master slide for a quiz. Can anyone confirm this?

A bit more detail:

I am using multiple choice questions (although the same principle would apply to any quiz object).

I want to define a custom default position for the question text and responses

I can't find a maintainable way to do it - I can create my desired layout on the slide and duplicate ad nauseum but then I am left with several unique instances which will need to be individually edited should I need to tweak anything.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like I found my own solution and the problem was from my own doing! I trashed the default Articulate masters and made my own. I just created a new project file and now have the question slide master. So feel free to disregard this post.

I'm sort of new at this, but I have had the most luck when I copy or modify the existing quiz question layout slide (under the main master slide), being careful only to modify the text holder fields there (not deleting or adding new ones). If I'm careful to do that, then it seems that the master/layout slides work fairly well for the quiz questions.

Working with the master slides in Storyline is a little confusing if you're coming at it from PPT master slide frame of mind because they don't work exactly the same.

Funny - We must have posted our replies at exactly the same moment, but I'm happy that you've found essentially the same answer as I have.

Thanks though for the the reply, Sherri. For me it's weird to use Storyline because I am used to doing all custom work (using my own framework and building my own assets). Hopefully I can make the best of it!

We have created our own master quiz slides and two things are happening the color of the font changes when you hover (yes have checked states) and size of the box changes. Any suggestions?

Hello Denise,

Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear the font color and size of text boxes change when hovered over.

Do you see this behavior with all text boxes or just a specific one?
